yet_o the_o time_n of_o morning_n and_o evening_n sacrifice_n be_v the_o usual_a hour_n of_o prayer_n observe_v by_o pious_a and_o devout_a man_n who_o send_v up_o their_o prayer_n together_o with_o the_o sacrifice_n thus_o ezra_n tell_v we_o at_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_n 5._o i_o fall_v upon_o my_o knee_n and_o spread_v out_o my_o hand_n unto_o the_o lord_n my_o god_n and_o to_o this_o the_o psalmist_n allude_v let_v my_o 2._o prayer_n be_v set_v before_o thou_o as_o incense_v and_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o my_o hand_n as_o the_o evening_n sacrifice_n for_o since_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n we_o can_v expect_v that_o god_n shall_v hear_v our_o prayer_n for_o our_o own_o sake_n we_o can_v make_v no_o atonement_n and_o expiation_n for_o our_o own_o sin_n nor_o offer_v he_o any_o just_a compensation_n for_o they_o and_o therefore_o under_o the_o law_n god_n appoint_v expiatory_a sacrifice_n to_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o priest_n who_o be_v god_n minister_n and_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n god_n have_v send_v his_o own_o son_n into_o the_o world_n to_o be_v both_o our_o priest_n and_o our_o sacrifice_n the_o acceptation_n of_o our_o prayer_n depend_v upon_o the_o power_n of_o his_o intercession_n and_o the_o power_n of_o his_o intercession_n upon_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o blood_n for_o with_o his_o own_o 12._o blood_n he_o enter_v once_o into_o the_o holy_a place_n have_v obtain_v eternal_a redemption_n for_o we_o we_o must_v now_o go_v to_o god_n in_o his_o name_n and_o plead_v the_o merit_n of_o his_o blood_n if_o we_o expect_v a_o gracious_a answer_n to_o our_o prayer_n now_o for_o this_o end_n be_v the_o lord_n supper_n institute_v to_o be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n or_o of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n to_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v which_o as_o it_o respect_v god_n be_v to_o put_v he_o in_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n death_n and_o to_o plead_v the_o virtue_n and_o merit_n of_o it_o for_o our_o pardon_n and_o acceptance_n it_o be_v a_o visible_a prayer_n to_o god_n to_o remember_v the_o suffering_n of_o his_o son_n and_o to_o be_v propitious_a to_o his_o church_n his_o body_n and_o every_o member_n of_o it_o which_o he_o have_v purchase_v with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o therefore_o the_o ancient_a church_n constant_o at_o this_o holy_a supper_n offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n to_o god_n in_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n there_o represent_v for_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o all_o rank_n and_o condition_n of_o man_n for_o this_o reason_n the_o lord_n supper_n be_v call_v a_o commemorative_n sacrifice_n because_o we_o therein_o offer_v up_o to_o god_n the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n sacrifice_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o ancient_a church_n the_o altar_n or_o the_o place_n where_o they_o consecrate_v the_o element_n be_v the_o place_n also_o where_o they_o offer_v up_o their_o prayer_n to_o signify_v that_o they_o offer_v their_o prayer_n only_o in_o virtue_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o very_a remembrance_n of_o this_o sacrifice_n in_o the_o lord_n supper_n by_o virtue_n of_o its_o institution_n do_v render_v their_o prayer_n prevalent_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o very_a first_o account_n we_o have_v of_o the_o exercise_n of_o christian_a worship_n we_o find_v break_v bread_n and_o prayer_n join_v together_o the_o efficacy_n of_o our_o prayer_n depend_v on_o the_o merit_n of_o 46._o christ_n sacrifice_n and_o the_o way_n christ_n have_v appoint_v to_o give_v our_o prayer_n a_o interest_n in_o his_o sacrifice_n be_v to_o offer_v they_o in_o the_o holy_a supper_n with_o the_o sacramental_a remembrance_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n 2._o if_o we_o consider_v the_o lord_n

thankful_a acknowledgement_n of_o his_o great_a love_n in_o die_v for_o they_o as_o will_v appear_v if_o we_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v to_o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o for_o 1._o this_o signify_v to_o keep_v this_o feast_n as_o a_o public_a and_o solemn_a commemoration_n of_o our_o lord_n we_o ought_v to_o remember_v our_o saviour_n and_o think_v of_o he_o as_o often_o as_o we_o can_v but_o this_o holy_a feast_n be_v a_o public_a celebration_n of_o his_o fame_n and_o memory_n we_o must_v not_o only_o think_v of_o our_o saviour_n as_o we_o do_v of_o a_o absent_a friend_n who_o be_v very_o dear_a to_o we_o but_o we_o must_v remember_v he_o as_o some_o nation_n do_v their_o public_a patron_n and_o benefactor_n with_o solemn_a and_o festival_n joy_n the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o feast_n institute_v in_o honour_n of_o our_o saviour_n wherein_o the_o whole_a church_n must_v call_v to_o mind_v his_o noble_a act_n and_o show_v forth_o his_o praise_n and_o perpetuate_v the_o memory_n of_o they_o from_o one_o generation_n to_o another_o we_o must_v call_v to_o mind_v his_o great_a and_o astonish_a love_n and_o recount_v all_o his_o victory_n and_o triumph_n over_o

the_o natural_a passion_n of_o our_o mind_n if_o we_o consider_v god_n as_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o god_n have_v a_o natural_a right_n to_o the_o praise_n and_o glory_n of_o

whatever_o wisdom_n power_n or_o goodness_n be_v see_v in_o the_o frame_n of_o this_o vast_a and_o beautiful_a world_n whatever_o perfection_n be_v bestow_v on_o any_o creature_n must_v be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o great_a maker_n of_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o see_v any_o curious_a piece_n of_o paint_v without_o admire_v and_o praise_v the_o skill_n of_o the_o painter_n and_o that_o man_n be_v very_o unjust_a as_o well_o as_o very_o senseless_a who_o can_v look_v upon_o this_o world_n so_o wonderful_a for_o its_o unknown_a extent_n exquisite_a contrivance_n beauty_n uniformity_n

that_o in_o he_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v this_o make_v it_o a_o natural_a debt_n to_o praise_v and_o adore_v the_o god_n who_o make_v we_o as_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v to_o

and_o sovereign_a lord_n as_o it_o be_v account_v among_o man_n for_o child_n to_o honour_v their_o parent_n and_o servant_n their_o master_n and_o therefore_o let_v any_o man_n who_o will_v but_o allow_v god_n the_o same_o right_n in_o his_o creature_n which_o he_o himself_o challenge_v in_o his_o child_n and_o servant_n judge_v how_o unseemly_a and_o unnatural_a it_o be_v to_o refuse_v to_o

than_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v worship_v and_o adore_v by_o those_o creature_n who_o his_o own_o hand_n have_v make_v and_o fashion_v so_o that_o upon_o all_o account_n god_n have_v a_o natural_a

but_o indeed_o this_o be_v a_o debt_n which_o we_o be_v all_o able_a to_o pay_v for_o god_n have_v make_v we_o reasonable_a creature_n endow_v we_o with_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n to_o discover_v

of_o our_o creation_n we_o live_v now_o in_o such_o a_o busy_a world_n where_o we_o find_v so_o many_o thing_n to_o do_v to_o provide_v food_n and_o raiment_n and_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o
